Our Amazing Office Staff

Hello, my name is Jenna Munoz and I am thrilled and honored to serve as the proud Principal of Iron Horse Elementary! It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated and professional staff.  At Iron Horse, we strive to provide a rigorous, standards based curriculum focused on students and their individual needs. We believe in educating the whole child focusing on academic, social, and emotional growth. 

I enjoy all of the activities Parker has to offer and love living here and being a part of the Parker community.  I have been in education for 25 years and have been in administration for eight years. My bachelor's degree is in Psychology and I received my teaching license and Master’s degree from the University of Colorado, Denver. I received my Administration license from Lamar University in 2016. I have had the honor of teaching several primary grades as well as STEM. As a leader, my focus is on supporting the whole child and valuing the unique gifts and talents each student brings to Iron Horse. I have a strong literacy background and value rigorous, targeted instruction. I also know how important it is to meet our student’s social and emotional needs and look forward to partnering with our community, staff, and students to create a safe, warm, and welcoming learning environment. 

I am married to my husband Andy of 26 years. Together we love to travel and spend time with our family. I am the proud parent of two children. My son Brendan attends Metro State and is pursuing his degree in aviation and becoming a commercial pilot. Ash attends Western Colorado University where she is studying business administration. We share our home with our cat Socks who mostly runs the house! In my spare time I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, traveling, and spending time in the beautiful outdoors of Colorado! 

As the proud principal of Iron Horse, I will strive to meet the unique needs of every child. I believe in open and frequent communication. If you should need anything, please feel free to contact me by email/phone or by stopping by IHE. My email is jmmunoz@dcsdk12.org and my phone number is 303-387-8525. It is through working together that we will succeed in bringing the best educational opportunities to your child. 

Welcome!  I am blessed to continue this year at IHE in the role of assistant principal.  I began my career by receiving a B.A. degree in Behavioral Sciences with a minor in Psychology. I then continued my education and received a teaching license from Metropolitan State College of Denver and a M.A. in Administrative Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Colorado at Denver. I spent 18 years as a classroom teacher and literacy specialist before moving into school administration. This is my 29th year in education. I strive to know all of our students and value the connections I make with them.  

I am a Colorado native who married my high school sweetheart 26 years ago. Together, we have twin girls who are Juniors in college. One is studying aviation flight management, and the other is pursuing nursing. In my free time, I love the outdoor experiences Colorado has to offer. In the summer, I paddleboard, take quick trips to the mountains, and spend as much time as possible with my girls. In the winter, I do pretty much the same except I switch out paddleboarding with backcountry snowmobiling.

I am grateful for the opportunity to begin another new school year and look forward to being part of an extraordinary school building everlasting relationships with IHE families.
